I heard Rodney Combs is bring back the 5th design Howe with leaf springs & double Reese bars.
Shouldn’t make a difference.Supposedly they are given frames to assemble and take them to the pull down rig. If they don’t like the numbers they take them apart give them frame back to longhorn and try another. Longhorn takes the frame and sells it to someone else because it’s still a brand new chassis that comes off the same jig as tmac and JD but different frames gives different results. Apparently they know exactly what numbers those drivers like and the rest of the competition is non the wiser.
I say yes, at least on bigger tracks, unless rule changes, In the past it was a quick fix or a minor cheat. Landers has taken technology to another level. wind tunnels, high dollar engineers and etc. Its up to the top brass at Lucas, WOO, and UMP where this goes. Strictly professional high dollar funded operations or a mix involving weekend warriors.
